- Isla.
- A song stuck in your head?
It's like a siren song.
It's almost like she's a mermaid.
Today she asked me if mermaids exist.
- What did you tell her?
- Stay away from Ruby.
Everyone and everything
aren't always what they seem.
- Ruby?
- Where have you been?
Did someone tell you
to stay away from me?
- Roarke told me to stay away.
- You lied to me!
You made me think
that Isla was ghosting me,
- when it was you?
- Well, she's dangerous.
We can be together,
but, there's a price.
I'm in love with her.
And love can cloud our vision, Ruby.
Remember life with Mel?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Mel, your husband.

- Have you seen Ruby?
- Mm-mm.
No, Ms. Roarke.

Good morning.
Someone didn't travel light.
Someone had to make sure
the pens, pads, water bottles,
and stress balls
all got here in one piece.
Meet Courtney Hobbs.
Courtney, this is Elena Roarke,
your host.
Welcome to Fantasy Island.
All your coworkers have safely arrived.
Oh, well, then I better get going.
In my job, five minutes
early is ten minutes late.
Uh, you know punctuality is important,
but we have plenty of time to talk
before you have to join them.
- Sure.
- Shall we?
[SOFT MUSIC]
- Ruby?
- I don't know.

I had my daughter,
Alexis, when I was 17.
I was the same age as she is now.
She's everything to me.
It's always been just the two of us.
- Was that hard?
- Beyond hard.
I was a disaster
No skills, no education.
Sometimes I wonder
how we even made it through.
T.S. Eliot said,
"Success is relative."
"It's what we make"
"of the mess we have made of things."
Then I must be a huge success.
[CHUCKLES]
Except I'm not,
not like I'd like to be.
From what I understand, you
managed to graduate college,
even got an MBA.
Night classes, online courses,
not exactly Harvard Business School.
- Well, does it have to be?
- It wouldn't hurt.
Aren't you working
at your dream company?
Seed & Spear
Socially conscious,
environmentally sourced products.
I am
- As a receptionist.
- It's a start.
The founder, Julia Beryl Thiel
[SIGHS]
She's my age.
I studied her in business school.
We all have our own journey, you know.
Julia is my idol.
Hi.
Sorry I'm late
Again.
Courtney, this is, uh, Ruby,
my associate.
- Hi.
- [CHUCKLES]
Courtney and I were
just discussing her job
at Seed & Spear.
Oh.
"Give light, be light."
Yes, that's their mantra.
I love them.
[CHUCKLES]
The problem is, after two years
of taking messages and fetching coffee,
Julia still doesn't know who I am.
Ooh, that cannot feel good.
- It doesn't.
- Courtney,
what can the Island do for you?
My fantasy,
is for my boss to know my name.
I want Julia to see
how much I have to offer.
And she will.
That's why I have arranged
for Seed & Spear's company retreat
to happen right here on the Island.
- Hmm, of course you did.
- [CHUCKLES]
You're gonna take one of these
twice a day.
What are they?
- Caramels?
- Very special ones.
Just enough to last your stay.
But beware
There's no more
of those where they came from.
Thank you so much for this.
It's what I do. [CHUCKLES]
- You keep an eye on her?
- Yeah.
That's what I do.
Okay, let me take you to the retreat.

How's paradise?
It's pretty incredible.
We're heading to our first event now.
You got this, lady.
Lipstick-on-teeth check.

All good.
I love you.

Oh, that is so sweet.
She is.
- And spunky.

- Do you have children?

Uh, you know,
we're not talking about me.
This is your fantasy.
Ready?

Oh, finally.
I thought I might have
to do this myself.
No.
This is my job.
It's all pretty exciting, huh?
[THINKING] Enthusiasm,
but that will pass.

- I didn't say anything.
[THINKING] Why am I wasting
time on the receptionist?
Next.
[THINKING] He said
it's just a cyst I'm fine.
[THINKING] Why do I always
push away people who love me?

[THINKING]
Why is she staring like a fish
with a hook in its mouth.
[THINKING] I'm totally drunk
at 10:00 a.m.
Best retreat ever!
[THINKING] In the end, it
all comes to nothing anyway.
Why do I bother?
[THINKING] I'm so tired
of people ragging on disco.
[THINKING] Did I leave
my curling iron on?
[THINKING] There's the receptionist.
Hey.
You filming this for social media?
I am.
Courtney.
[THINKING] Isn't this one
an eager beaver?
Julia hates being shot
from the left side,
and high angles are always appreciated.
[THINKING] God, I hope
she can handle this.
I hope you can handle all of this.
Welcome to the stage Julia Beryl Thiel,
founder, CEO of Seed & Spear.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Thank you, everyone!
It's a joy to see
our entire Seed & Spear
management team together.
Give light
ALL: Be light.
Give light
ALL: Be light.
I love it!
Now, why are you here,
my brilliant illuminators?
To renew, recharge,
and rekindle our passion!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[THINKING] You sound shrill.
Lower your voice.
Yes, there will be
team-building exercises and seminars,
but, there will also
be an amazing opportunity,
for all of you.
On our last day, each of you
will get two minutes
one-on-one with me,
to pitch your game-changing ideas
to expand our thriving business!
A good idea should sell itself
in 30 seconds.
I'm giving you 90 more than you need.
[THINKING] Oh, man,
I better stop drinking.
[THINKING] Artisanal, think artisanal.
Best pitch gets a promotion.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Keep in mind the worst enemy
to creativity is self-doubt.
[THINKING]
Bring it on home, Jules.
- And remember
- [THINKING] Big finish.
The universe is always working
in your favor!

Sylvia Plath?
What was I thinking?
And I didn't even give her credit.
- Hi. So good to see you.
- So good.
Mason, so good to see you.
Oh, thank you.
You're so kind.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- That was incredible.
- Oh.
And the Sylvia Plath quote
at the end
- Perfect.
- [THINKING] Maybe it wasn't so bad.
I know this woman's face.
I'm just in office support,
but I love the company,
and everything you did
to make it happen.
Well, without
dedicated people like you,
Seed & Spear wouldn't exist.
[THINKING]
The straps of these sandals
are rubbing my ankles raw.
- Hi.
- Incredible.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Ruby.
So, thank you for coming.
How's it going with our guest?
Off to a good start?
Oh, definitely.
[CHUCKLES]
We really connected.
You must remember what it was like
being a young working mom.
[MYSTICAL MUSIC]
Um, you wanted to speak with me?
I do.
So this morning
when you weren't at the dock
Were you with Isla?
Yes. Yeah.
[SCOFFS]
And before you ask,
I haven't made any decisions about
My future.
You mean any decisions
about whether you're going
to give up your entire life
to become una sirena?
Hmm.
I'm glad you're taking your time.
Sarcasm noted.
Okay, see you later.

- Yes?
- Hi.
[THINKING] It's that girl.
I just wanted you to know that
the video of your
speech is ready to post,
and, I thought you could use
these for your sandals.
[THINKING] Is this woman psychic?
I know this might sound weird,
but I have the knockoffs
of your sandals,
and the straps are painful.
That should help a lot.
What's your name?
- Courtney.
- Courtney
I'll see you
in a little while, Courtney.
[SQUEALS, LAUGHING]
And what are you up to?
- Nothing.
- [THINKING] Said the foxes to the hens.
She is up to something.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Mr. Campos.
- Almost time for the fire walk.
- Yes.
Nothing shows more
respect for employees
than making them trudge
across burning-hot coals.
Uh-huh. Well, I am collecting
everyone's shoes.
- May I have your loafers?
- Uh, yeah, I, uh
I will not be walking on hot coals.
[THINKING]
What is her name? Cassie?
Courtney, I was looking for you.
My sandals are a hundred times
more comfortable.
I'm so glad.
You're a lifesaver.
All right.
I've been told the coals
have now exceeded 1,000 degrees,
and the fun can begin at any time.
[THINKING] For God's sake,
whose idea was this?
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
I prepared some remarks.
Let's do a run-through
before everyone arrives.
I would love to be your sounding board.
Hmm.
Maybe you're asking yourself,
"Why would I ever want to walk
across hot coals?"
[THINKING] Yes, I'm dying to know.
Because to reach
one's fullest potential,
we must push past fear.
[THINKING]
God, I am terrified.
I'm with you so far.
When you make it to the other side,
you'll receive something unimaginable
The knowledge that fear
doesn't have to stop you.
Now, as they say, hold my beer,
and across I go.
- What do you think?
- I loved it.
Unflinching, unapologetic,
totally on brand.
I had goose bumps.
[THINKING] I just got a pedicure.
I really wish someone
would get me out of this.
- Julia.
- Hmm?
There's a situation that
you need to handle right away.
Oh, no.
[THINKING] The universe
does work in my favor.
Apparently I have a crisis.
I have never been more excited
to deal with an emergency.
- What's the crisis?
- There isn't one.
I just thought your perfect
pedicure deserved better.
[THINKING] Well, isn't this one bold.
I don't have to walk on hot
coals to prove I'm fearless.
Julia, in five minutes,
this beach will be filled
with your acolytes
expecting you to lead them
over the burning coals.
Luckily, I have an exceedingly
competent number two.
You're up, Leo.
Give light, be light.
[THINKING]
This is totally unacceptable!
This is totally unacceptable!
Where are we going?
You saved me.
I'm buying you a drink.
[THINKING]
Julia's buying her a drink?
What a kiss-up.
[LATIN POP MUSIC]
[PERSON SINGING IN SPANISH]
[LAUGHS] That's how determined I was.
He ducks into the elevator,
I run into the staircase,
- and by the time he gets out on the
- Seventh floor,
you're in front of his office.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Guess I told that one too many times.
Mm, as far as I know, only once
At the Wharton graduation
four years ago.
I watched it online.
[THINKING] Wow, this girl
does her homework.
I'll tell you something
I didn't tell them.
I closed that initial financing
by lying.
I said I was 21.
I was 20.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
I'll never forget.
It was two days before Christmas.
When I was 20,
I was working at Filene's Basement.
I didn't even have enough money
for a Christmas tree,
but my boss
He was so great.
He knew I had a three-year-old,
so he let us come in after hours
so that we could have Christmas Eve
in front of the big decorated tree.
[THINKING] Wow, that's so sad.
Sorry, did I bring down the room?
No.
I mean, yes, it's a little sad,
but, touching and resourceful.
I was working the discount rack,
and you were closing deals
with hedge-fund managers.
[THINKING] And now they
don't even return my calls.
Here's an idea.
I'm hosting a dinner tonight
for department heads.
We're gonna brainstorm, and
we could use some fresh blood.
- I have fresh blood.
- Then it's settled.
Dinner's at 6:00.
But first, more mojitos.
[LAUGHS]
♪
Hello.
- I heard you wanted to see me.
- I did.
I have a question.
Oh.
Why does Elena hate mermaids?
[SIGHS]
There is a lot of history there.
What kind of history?
For generations, there has been a pact
between the mermaids and the Roarkes.
Okay.
Mermaids keep the Island
unknown to outsiders.
In return, the Island protects them.
Then what's the problem?
Many years ago,
there was a mermaid who seduced a guest,
and stole him into the sea.
His family never saw him again.
As far as I know, he's with them still.
It was a tragedy that
haunted Elena's great
uncle his whole life.
Well, Isla had no part in that.
Why should she take the blame?
Oh, I see.
It's about your friend Isla.
[SIGHS]
I-it's not a matter of blame.
It's a matter of trust.
In Spanish, mermaids are sirenas.
Sirens
I know.
Think of it like this.
A shark, doesn't always bite
but it is always a shark.

I invited Courtney to join us.
- Why would you do that?
- Because she's smart.
We could learn a few things from her.
Like what.
How to fake an emergency?
[THINKING] Did she really
think that wasn't obvious?
I looked you up
Online degree,
only experience in retail sales.
It was a good effort,
but you have yet to earn

- You should be.
Tonight, listen more than you speak.
JULIA: Let's sit.
You don't want to embarrass yourself.
[THINKING] And that
hairdo isn't helping.
Everyone,
please welcome Courtney Hobbs.
She might be familiar to most of you,
and she's made quite
an impression on me this trip.
[THINKING] Let's see
how she handles pressure.
[THINKING] She's got this.
I knew she looked familiar.
- You gave a TED Talk, right?
- It was Big Think.
And it was brilliant.
No, neither of those things.
I give up.
Where have we seen you?
The horseshoe desk by the front door.
I'm the receptionist.
Well, um, I always get my messages,
so you must be good at what you do.

Well played, Julia.
We all started somewhere.

We're down a bottle since Tuesday.

wanted is a gin and tonic.
[THINKING] I hope she doesn't let
these people get to her.
Are you okay?

She's pale as a ghost.
You don't look well.

that no one wants her here.
[THINKING] Look at her.
Light's on, but nobody's home.

I wish I could be that open

So you're not gonna fire me?
- For being authentic?
No.
You are exactly the kind

You don't need to chase me.

Ah.
Did something happen?
I need to get my caramels back.
Javier said that you gave them to him,
so I, I don't understand.
I was so nervous
that I took two at once.
I figured one was good,
two would be better.
It was a complete catastrophe.
And now, I really need them back.
Mm, no.
I'm sorry, no.
No?
Well, you made the decision
to give them up,
and now, this is your new path.
But, Julia gave me a slot
to pitch my idea.
That's wonderful.
It's not wonderful
if I humiliate myself.
Uh, maybe you'll knock it
out of the park.
I need to know what Julia is thinking.
That way, if she hates it,
I can pivot.
Oh, eh, I-I see

Just don't pitch artisanal manure.

- It's not a thing.
Mm, got it.
Ixnay on the artisanal anure-may.
Um
for most of my life, I thought
my dreams couldn't come true.
But then I read an article
about you, Julia,
and your belief in yourself
and your vision
for Seed & Spear inspired me.
I've been at the company
for two years now,
and I am certain,
that Seed & Spear's future
is not in another $100 candle
or, as Leo said,
a bag of artisanal manure.
The way forward,
is to go back to the company's roots
The farm box.
But make it accessible for all.
My idea is to create
an affordable version
with an associated brand
that won't impact the
parent company's bottom line.
In time, we'll create jobs,
reduce waste, and improve the diets
of an ever-increasing number of people,
people like me,
who want to feed their kids
healthy, accessible, affordable food.
And you've run the numbers?
It's all in here.
By my conservative projections,
profits could increase 30%
in the next 5 years.
- And the initial investment?
- Minimal.
The infrastructure's already in place.
Okay, thank you.
Uh, you can go now.
I spoke to Segundo.
How is the old man?
He told me a story about a feud
between the Roarkes and the mermaids.
Why didn't you tell me?
Our relationship is about you and me,
not about anybody else.
♪
Did your people steal a guest?
No one was stolen.
There was a guest who fell
in love with one of us.
He chose to join us,

Perhaps someday you'll meet him.
Perhaps.

You're an idealist, Courtney.
So are you.
No.
I'm a pragmatist.
Ultimately, my top priority
is shareholder value.
Seed & Spear is
a high-end lifestyle brand.
It's not a "save the world,
feed the people" brand.
It could be both.
But it won't be.
What about "give light, be light"?

I don't want to be the one responsible
for dimming your light.
Seed & Spear isn't the place for you.

How can I tell Alexis
that I lost my job
and that our future is ruined?
One person didn't like your pitch,
and now your entire future is ruined?
Well, it certainly seems
a lot more bleak
than it did 24 hours ago.
I feel lost.
If Alexis had the same experience,
what would you tell her?
I would tell her to believe in herself,
hold her head up high,
and move on with dignity.
Your daughter is lucky
to have such a wise mom.
And you can't stay
under the covers forever.
It's time to believe in yourself,
hold your head high,
and move on with dignity.

Javier, I think she's in danger.
